The guide to Thought Control (thc): install it, write, find things, work with vaults and agents, and every key and query term.
Install
One command puts thc on your PATH, makes a vault, starts the background service and teaches your agents.
Your first ten minutes
Nine short steps from install to trusting it, about a minute each.
Writing
How the editor turns plain text into notes, tasks and dates, and how to stay out of its way.
Every view
The seven views along the top, what each is for, and how to make Today your own.
Vaults
One notebook per project, solo or shared through a synced folder, with Today spanning all of them.
Agents
Claude Code, Codex and your own scripts use the same CLI you do, every change is signed, and only you accept their work.
The mouse
Everything you can see, you can click, and the mouse never does something the keys don't.
Keys you'll use
The handful of keys that do most of the work, the one key that finds the rest, and how to remap any of them.
Why it's like this
The few ideas behind thc. Knowing them makes the rest obvious.
Query language
Every term thc q understands, from status and dates to ancestors, relations, sorting, grouping and vaults.
Capture syntax
The inline tokens that turn a line of text into a task with dates, a repeat, a priority, tags and links, and every date thc can read.
Commands
Every thc command, grouped, one line each, plus the global flags, the JSON contract and the exit codes.
Every key
The full key table, generated from the binary: the same table thc's help and footer read.
